The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

At the moment the monster was successfully subdued, the thick fog that had been covering the entire small village and the sky above it began to slowly dissipate as if driven by some mysterious force.

Before long, the twinkling stars in the sky and the moonlight as bright as snow finally penetrated the layers of fog and poured down on this quiet and beautiful little villa that looked like a paradise.

Between the two towering peaks, a small and exquisite mountain villa was looming.

However, the only drawback is that many of the buildings in this small villa appear dilapidated.

Especially those thatched houses, not only are their roofs incomplete, but their walls are also covered with dense spider webs, as if telling the vicissitudes and ruthlessness of time, which is really an eyesore.

At this moment, Mu Qi, who was hiding in a corner not far away and concentrating on lighting a bonfire, saw the two people end their intimate embrace.

He raised his head slightly, cleared his throat, and then asked, "Are you two... okay?" "What about these people?"

"Could it be that you and Zuo Nian came here alone this time?"

Hua Ye's pretty face was full of doubts, and her beautiful big eyes were staring straight at the person in front of her, as if she wanted to find the answer from the other person.

Then, she slowly turned around and walked towards the campfire with light steps, apparently preparing to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.

Just as Hua Ye was about to sit down on the withered grass, something unexpected happened.

On the originally empty ground, a seemingly ordinary wooden block suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Hua Ye's buttocks landed squarely and steadily on the wooden block.

This sudden change made Hua Ye stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously touched the thing she was sitting on with her hand.

I just felt a thick touch where I touched it, which was completely different from the land that was wet and soft after being covered with morning dew.

So, Hua Ye turned his head curiously and carefully looked at the wooden block that appeared out of nowhere.

After some observation, Hua Ye slowly raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet the person who had been standing not far away and watching her silently - Xu Zhi.

At this moment, Xu Zhi was looking at this side with a calm expression, but there was a barely perceptible concern in his eyes.

At the same time, Mu Qi on the other side said, "Brother Zuo and I came here just to explore the way for everyone. Who could have imagined that we would be so unlucky and encounter that terrifying demon not long after arriving here!"

As he spoke, Mu Qi's eyes accurately revealed a look of rekindled despair.

At first, his eyes were dull, as if they had lost all their vitality; however, when Hua Ye was mentioned, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a candle in the darkness, instantly lighting up the whole world.

"If you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened. Fortunately, Miss Hua is so righteous, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go back..."

"Even if I hadn't come, Brother Zuo would have risked his life to save you, so you can rest assured!" Hua Ye said lightly, with no emotion on his face.

Mu Qi finally raised his drooping head and said, "That's right. Big Brother Zuo, that stupid guy, would definitely find my body and bring it back even if he dies, so that he can have an explanation!"

"So, you also know that he is stupid!"

Hua Ye couldn't help laughing so hard that she leaned forward and backward, but there was a spark of light at the corner of her eye that wanted to fall but never did.

Mu Qi's eyes were attracted by the wooden stool under her, and he didn't notice Hua Ye's unusual mood at all: "Where did you get this stool?"

"Yes, he has changed!" Hua Ye picked up a dry branch and pointed at Xu Zhi who was unwilling to move forward, and then continued.

"I forgot to introduce him to you. He's my husband. Since I'm a few days older than you, you can just call him Brother-in-law Hua!"

"That's not good! Have you ever heard of a man taking the lady's surname?"

Mu Qi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, but he still kept looking at the subtle changes in the expression on his brother-in-law Hua's face as he slowly walked towards him.

I saw that Xuzhi was wearing a black robe with python patterns. On the robe, the python patterns were carefully outlined with gold threads. Under the moonlight and the blazing fire, the pattern was shining with light that was sometimes bright and sometimes dark and with distinct layers.

These lights are like the bright stars in the night sky or the mysterious treasures in the deep sea, exuding a charm that cannot be ignored.

His tall and straight figure was like an unshakable mountain, even slightly taller than Zuo Nian.

That face was so exquisite that it seemed as if it was created by a master sculptor with all his efforts. The lines were hard yet soft, as if every contour was a perfect presentation after careful consideration.

However, when these tough yet gentle facial features are put together, they exude an aura that makes people feel intimidated and dare not approach easily.

That kind of temperament seemed to be silently declaring: No approach, anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy!

Mu Qi, who was standing by, was deeply attracted by the scene before him. His eyes were involuntarily fixed on Xu Zhi, and he was mesmerized for a moment.

It was not until Hua Ye held a wooden stick and gently poked the fire, causing countless sparks to rise into the air and bloom like fireworks in the night sky, that Mu Qi came to his senses as if awakened from a dream.

"I can only say that Miss Hua is incredibly lucky in love. He's more handsome than Brother Zuo, but not as overly charming as the Crown Prince. It's a good choice for you to choose him!"

"Wow, I didn't expect that Major General Mu, who can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, would be so good at praising people!"

Hua Ye deliberately struck the fire several times, then looked up at Xu Zhi who had already walked to her side.

"I'm hungry……"

"Brother-in-law, can you also turn into a stool for me to sit on..."
